Sinus Medication - Your Choices


 
Health
Why put up with sinusitis symptoms when you can use sinus medication to ease them out? Here are the most common sinus medications available over-the-counter and with prescriptions that have been proven, time and again, to be very effective against the symptoms of sinus infection.

Antibiotics Considered as the first line of defense against sinus infection, antibiotics for sinusitis come in many forms. When used properly, it can bring long-lasting relief from the nasty sinusitis symptoms. Antibiotics commonly used against sinus infection are as follows:

• Penicillins eliminate bacteria by causing metabolic functions important to the cell wall formation and multiplication to cease.

• Macrolides are antibiotics limited to eliminating cocci bacteria which often cause sinus infections.

• Aminoglycosides are perhaps the most versatile type of antibiotics. These can be delivered intravenously, topically, systemically, and by inhalation. These kill the most difficult to treat sinus infections and are best used against rare bacteria that cause sinusitis.

• Cephalosporins work to inhibit cell wall synthesis which prevents the reproduction of the targeted bacteria.

It is very important to remember that antibiotics are only effective if the antibiotic used is potent enough to eliminate the bacteria that have colonized the sinus cavities and that if treatment is completed. Otherwise, improvement of symptoms cannot be expected.

Another important reminder with regards to use of antibiotics is the need to consult a doctor prior to medication. Avoid self-medication as it can have dangerous effects on your body. Follow your doctor’s advice strictly and religiously to maximize its effects.

Steroids Inflammation and swelling of the infected tissues are by themselves the consequences of sinus infections and the cause of other symptoms. Anti-inflammatory medicines such as steroids or corticosteroids are your best bet when trying to restore the health of your sinus tissues.

Corticosteroids appear in many forms – in pill, injection, syrup, and nebulized forms. While considered very effective, most doctors prescribe corticosteroids only as final resorts. This is because the use of corticosteroids brings along a host of side effects ranging from mild to severe, like weight gain (increase of appetite and fluid retention), increase in blood sugar and blood pressure, mood swings, upset stomach and sleep disturbance. The use of corticosteroids can also expose you to rebound effect which can make you depend heavily on sinus medication.

Decongestants Decongestants primarily work to relieve sinus pressure, swelling and nasal and sinus blockage. These medications work to reduce the blood flow to the membranes of the nose and sinuses such that any blockage that causes pressure may be resolved.

Antihistamines Antihistamines are effective treatment options if you have allergic rhinitis or nasal allergy. These work to block the release of histamine into the bloodstream. This substance usually sticks to the histamine cell receptors and causes familiar sinusitis symptoms.

Nasal saline irrigation and sprays Medicated or not, nasal saline irrigation and sprays are among the most common sinus medications that work to thin out clogged mucus and moisturize the infected areas. These are fast working and are best used during the initial stage of treatment.

With all these medications at your disposal, you do not need to suffer a second longer from sinusitis and its symptoms. If you are not sure of which sinus medication to take, consult your doctor and ask about your options.
